The Power of His Eye.

A story is told OF Van Amburg, the
great lion tanner, now dead. On one
occasion, while in a barroom, he was
asked how he got his wonderful power
over animals. He said.
ut is by showing them that Pm not
the least afraid OF them, aud by keep
ing my eye steadily on theirs. I'll
give you an example OF the power Of
my eye" Pointing to loutish fell

Amburg said "You see that fellow?
He is a regular clown. I'll make him
come across the room to me, and I
won't say a word to him" Sitting
down he fixed his keen. steady eye on,

Strengthened himself gradually, got up
and came across to Van Amburg.

with the remark: you'll stare at me
like that again, won't you?'

A Chapter on Farm Economy.

There is no trade or occupation in
life in which true economy is as i'm.
portant as in farming. By economy
we do not mean stinginess or denying
ones self the common comforts

not expect to com mand the esteem
and respect of his fellow-men, nor re-
tain it himself. Nor is it necessary in
this connection to admonish farmers
OF the Importance and necessity OF
saving what they make, and OF turn
ing into ready cash all kinds OF pro-
ducts not needed on the farm. But it
is the little economies to which we
would now more particularly direct
the attention Of farmers.
In the first place, the economical
farmer is arily a. neat
farmer. He cannot afford to al
low weeds and briers to grow up in
his fence corners to rob the soil of its
fertility and rot his fence. He cannot

Pointers on Memory.

Memory can be cultivated, OF
course, but a great deal of nonsense is
written about the so-called art of
mnemonics," said professor OF phil
osphy. "There are different kinds of
memory, to be sure, and all are sus-
ceptable to Improvement by constant
practice. But as rule a man s mem
ory is strongest when following the
particular bent of his occupation.
Gen. Grant had a fine memory as to
persons. Once reporter met him in
San Francisco and had just few
words with him. Five years after
wards he met him in Washington.
The General said: Yes, I remember
you,' and SO called him by his name.
Outside Of this his memory was not
extraordinary. Actors, as rule,
have no better memories than the
average mental worker. Even after
years Of study some of the greatest
actors find it difficult to memorize

strange technical terms quite out of

memories like those OF Macaulay and
Prof. Parson are not SO frequent now.
There are many freak memories,
as ] call them. They are in an alb
normal condition, of course, and,
strong only in one direction. The

Some Excellent Advice IS to Whom and Whom,
Not to Marry.
Home Journal.
Girls, don't marry q man Tor
money, position or nything but
love. Don't do it, if you wand
to live to a good old age and be
happy. You may think that money
can bring you all you desire, but it
can't. That is where you are mis-
taken. It can buy a good many
things, but it can never purchase con-
tentment for your heart or happiness
for your soul. It may bring temper
ary smiles to your face, but it will
leave great shadows in your heart.
Don't think that would advise you
to marry a worthless fellow, just
because you imagine you love
him. A refined, good, intelligent
woman should never marry a vulgar,
ill-bred man. No, no, never unite
yourself to any one who is not a man
in the truest meaning of the word.
Neither could I advise a woman to
marry man who had no visible means
OF supporting her, but for heavens
sake don't marry a millionaire or d
king, if you don't love him. It
will not do. People have tried it
time and time again, only to find it a
miserable failure. It may do for
awhile. You may revel in gilded
halls, and be lost in the giddy rounds
o. pleasure, but a time will come when
these things will be hollow mockery
to you. There will be an 'taching
void the world can never fill. Some
times mothers are to blame for the
unhapplness of their daughters. They
teach them that respect for their hus.
band and lots of"boodle' are infinite
ly to be preferred to that toolishness
called love. That would do we'll
enough if life had no waves OF trouble,
but it takes something more than
simple respect to make two hearts
cling together in the hour of adversity.
A woman that turns her back on
wealth and takes the man of her
choice may miss some OF the luxuries
OF life, but she will be happy. Don't
marry a dude. Better getyou a mon.
key. lis cheaper, and a great deal
nicer. Don't fool with that class of
animals. They generally wear ten
dollar hat on a ten-cent brain, and
the woman who takes one OF these
chaps will get left about as bad as the
Southern Confederacy did at Appom-
attoX.

A Few Farm Notes.

WHAT the protection OF a cool porch

rest after a hearty dinner, such, says
''The Prairie Farmer" is the clump OF
shade trees on the breezy knoll
to the COWS while digesting the large
bulk Of grass they must eat to make e
liberal portion of rich milk.
It is, says an exchange, by no means
settled question whether red clover
is not a better subsoider than any plow
that was ever invented. It's long
roots penetrate the soil much deeper,
and dying, as they do, the second
year, they do not only open up the soil
more effectually to the influence OF the
sun and air, but by their decay serve
to enrich it as we'll.
A tract OF land sixty miles by forty,
near Port Hope, Canada, produces
more peas than any other equal area
in the world The secret OF this is
that peas grown on this favored tract
are free from bugs. One-third of the
land is sown with peas yearly, and
many American seedsmen have their
peas grown here. The exemption from
bugs is attributed to the effect Of
Georgian Bay in cooling the summers
SO that the bugs do not mature early

When a horse refuses food, and is
secured and constipated by turns, it
indicates Indigestion. The remedy is
to lessen the food and change it.
Give bran mash, with quart OF lin
ceed in it once a day; no medicine Is
needed if this has the desired effect.
Ii not give a, pint of raw linseed oil,
and follow it with a small handful of
salt in it. Salt should be given daily
to horses; about one ounce Is the
right quantity.
The value Of water power must
be estimated in proportion first, to
it's extent; second to its availability,
ease OF access and nearness to trans.
portation, and third, the amount Of
business that can be done Ten feet
fail, with 3, 500 cubic feet per minute,
